Turnabout: Why I will renew with KDP Select.

A few months ago, I’d discussed the possibility of removing my books from KDP Select and offering them via all outlets.

Face Plant.

Not gonna happen. Amazon is the best place to sell indie work, hands down. On other sites indie books (unless your work is extreme erotica or flat out porn) end up in the land of the lost, disappeared, especially niche books.

Until such time as indies get more visibility via other outlets, Amazon KDP Select it is.

May not be right for you, but it’s right for me.

In the meantime, I’m considering a print run of Beauty and the Feast. Stay tuned!

Sometimes it feels like things are moving slow, but when you think back just a few years it is really incredible how things have evolved! Hopefully the others will catch up to the big river soon, but I think for now you’re right–it has the biggest reach and the best options for indies.

My backlist with Siren sells very well via other outlets too, Kat. I think pubbed books have more visibility than indies because buyers are familiar with the pubs and already know what and who they are looking for.

Amber that’s good to hear about Sony. Honestly, that’s why I wrangled with Smashwords *headdesk repeatedly* to get mine in their site. I’m a Sony reader owner. Got that before I got the Kindle and what can I say? I like the idea of having my work out there for as many people as will want to buy it.
